Description

This is an attempt by a group of senior scientists to help solve a significant soil problem in Kentucky. The fragipan is a naturally occurring restrictive layer in about 2.7 million acres of Kentucky soils and 50 million in the US. The pan virtually stops water movement and root growth and its' depth averages about 20-24 inches in these soil types in KentucThis is an attempt by a group of senior scientists to help solve a significant soil problem in Kentucky.
